    i really hope that there's gonna be more tracks than 13 after all this wait fr... we already heard IYC, Cinnamon, HIAB, HTD, Stronger, NFR + Venice Bitch & Mariners in full..... it would be clownery to only have 13 songs.

     

    "I've seen the world, done it all, had my cake now" teas...

    Agreed! I know VB and MAC are very loved, but in a way I'd be annoyed if they were on the album because they're nearly a year old and we deserve all-new content after this wait. I feel like Venice Bitch has to be included, though, because she says "Normal Rockwell" in the lyrics

    Goddamn lana

     

    You fucked us so bad that we almost

     

    Un stanned

     

     

    Now that yesterday’s excitement wore off, I can still say I’m pissed at her and nothing at this point will fix the way she’s been treating us. She’s a queef and I grow less and less excited for the album every day. Still I love her but posting a low effort snippet won’t save this era. Girls and gays, stand ur ground! :hooker:

    Omg, glad you said this because I thought I was a bitter bitch for feeling the same way. It's nice to see her acknowledge that the album even exists, but I don't want to get my hopes up too high for a release date or anything. Call me pessimistic but I wouldn't be surprised if this is yet another one of those times that she posts a snippet followed by months of silence. This puta has taught me to expect disappointment (but I'm hoping I'll be wrong and maybe I'll look like a dumbass a week from now)

     

    The song sounds lovely but right now it still feels like we're just being fed crumbs and it ain't fair. I'm tired of the cheesy IG videos of her singing along with her own songs. Give us a music video, bitch

    Hey girls and gays! I know earlier in the thread @@CmonDownToFL was asking for music that sounds similar to Lana. I totally forgot to mention this up-and-coming artist Honey Gentry before! Hopefully her beautiful, dreamy songs will tide you over for at least a little while.

    No actually this is what has always happened in art. Just through most of history they didn’t have kids on the internet fact-checking backstories and looking for information on artists like they’re the FBI. Artists used to get a bit of privacy and were able to remain mysterious. Bob Dylan lies about his entire backstory. Jim Morrison claimed his entire family were dead. David Bowie changed personas like clothes and acted like they were real in the moment which caused him to contradict himself constantly. People knew that that’s what artists did and they deserved a little mystery.

    Chill with the condescending tone. You say "kids on the internet" like you're assuming I'm 14 or something, I'm in my 20s and I know my music history. I've gotten deep into 1960s rock music and I'd say I'm pretty well-rounded.

     

    Of course she deserves her privacy and, like I said, I don't really mind her crafting different personas so long as she keeps her promises regarding her releases. None of those artists ever said they were going to make a ton of different projects (like all the music videos that never happened) without ever following up.

    Lots of the artists people call “authentic” just have an “authentic-looking” persona. One being whoever they want to be and writing from their soul and taking artistic liberties to bring this artistic vision to life is a lot more authentic than artists whole shtick is “I’m so real and relatable”. Art isn’t about sharing everything about yourself. You write yourself and play yourself in the way you choose. Art is short for artifice. It doesn’t mean artists are “fake”. It’s art.

    I mean, I'm not asking her to reveal all the details of her personal life. No one is 100% honest and open all the time. But it's concerning that she's been exposed to have a pretty long history of lying and making false promises at this point. I wouldn't care if she told a completely made-up life story as long as she was at least honest about what she's going to release and when. That's just basic professionalism.

    When it comes to facades, you must constantly keep up with them, or the fantasy will break. And this is exactly what happened. She's gone for too long, ignoring us (seemingly out of spite??), and then we start to realize things lol

     

    but I don't even know if she really cares because for example, shes even told us her real birth time. Since Priscilla and Marilyn are Geminis she probably thought it looked good to be one. Maybe she wants to be more real?

     

    Shes maturing a lot so she probably doesn't care for having the facade, that or shes just super tired at the moment. There's just no way Lana is the real her, period. but i dont think the super white basic Californian girl is her either..

     

    Lyrics from change:

    Maybe by the time this song is done

    I'll be able

    To be honest, capable

    Of holding you in my arms without letting you fall when I don't feel beautiful

    Or stable

     

    She is aware of her lies and how unreliable she can be.

    Her actions lately do seem really spiteful to me. She's giving off a passive-aggressive vibe... it hurts because she glamorized fame and riches so much before, and we, her fans, gave that to her. But now it feels like she's giving the middle finger to us because she's worn out... I understand she's been through a lot of stress being famous, like getting a lot of stalkers/violent men targeting her. But that's no reason to be so cold to the vast majority of her fans who are good people and made her as successful as she is today.

     

    There was one specific thing she did that broke my heart and made me slowly realize how much she's changed. Did you guys see that video of her forgetting the words to Radio during the LA to the Moon tour? She seemed so pissed that it was requested and she had to sing it. Like she seems to have a negative attitude towards the songs from the peak time of her career. Maybe she had something going on in her life then that gave her a negative association with BTD, but it was hurtful to see her have a flippant attitude toward a song that her fans have such nostalgic love for.

    She says "I don't make movies about my life, I live my life like a movie" and to me its like okay yeah thats "deep" and whatevuh... But I feel like it comes from her not wanting people to know Lana Del Rey is a persona, and she doesn't want the public eye to meet Elizabeth Grant.

     

    All these years the media has questioned whether shes authentic or not, only for my dumbass to realize its really been a persona this whole time.

     

    But sigh I would very much love a documentary and I'd (sadly) settle for an autobiography. Imagine watching Lana's documentary at the movie theater??

    I always used to be the person who jumped to her defense, insisting she's entirely authentic, self-made, not manufactured, so kind to her fans, and blah blah. On her birthday last year, I posted a super gushy essay on Instagram about how much I admire her and her "realness." I deleted it recently cause now I just feel like a damn fool.

     

    This thread shocked me because it made me realize how deceptive she can be. Not sure if the artist I fell in love with, who bares her soul in her songs and stays after concerts to say sweet things to fans, is the real her or if everything was fake. I put her on too high on a pedestal. I've finally come to accept the theory that "Lana Del Rey" is just a character and she's fabricated a lot of stories about her life to fit that glamorous, tragic narrative. Never going to let myself fall this hard in love with a famous person ever again because it sucks when your view of them becomes tainted. It may sound dramatic but this era truly feels like a heartbreak for me at this point

    She can now make a documentary about the recording and delay drama for NFR. Of course the documentary would need a soundtrack of new songs. There, now we have a way to get around this mess.

    Omg, in all seriousness, I'd actually love a documentary about Lana. But I feel like she's too private to ever do one.

     

    Imagine if she wrote an autobiography? I'd much prefer that to a poem book

    It's the weakest garbage she's ever released. There's a difference between a "minimalistic" and "stripped-down" aesthetic versus being lazy and not trying. I remember being confused when it first came out and all the YouTube and Instagram comments were praising her as the greatest poet ever. The lyrics are just awful compared to the high quality work we used to get. The Sylvia Plath sociopath thing is too cheesy, like Lana is a parody of herself at this point... it's as if she's trying to be ~oh-so-deep~ while writing at the level of an emo 13-year-old who's never written lyrics in their life. Combined with the selfie cover, it's just a slap in the face.

    Hey guys, I thought about this a little and just wanted to apologize for how harshly I expressed my opinions about HIADT. I don't mean to insult those who do like the song. Since I'm still new here, I don't want to make enemies or a bad impression or anything.

     

    I guess I'm just so frustrated with her silence on NFR that I'm projecting my anger onto her recent releases. I got all pissed when Doin' Time was released too, not because it's particularly bad; I'm just so sick of waiting with no explanation.

     

    I hope to make friends instead of coming off as some bitter person who hates on everything about Lana. I genuinely do love and respect her so much as an artist and a human being, but I feel like she's playing with our feelings as fans.

    admittedly, though i love the song i felt sylvia plath was an achingly obvious choice when it comes to a song documenting artistic 'angst' or whatever. so i do feel this

    Exactly, it makes it too easy to put her into the "teen Tumblr girl aesthetic" box

     

    I was totally a teen Tumblr girl from 2011-2016 though and that's how I found out about her so. Who am I to talk lol

    In all honesty, I'm glad this community exists so I can vent and be critical of her; if I said this on Reddit or something I'd be attacked for being "too harsh" lmao

    I feel like one of the few who doesn’t get why everyone’s in love with the new Vogue cover shoot.

    All three covers are fugly, I was hugely disappointed. Terrible outfits, weird makeup and expressions. Her 2012 Vogue Italia photoshoot was far superior, as well as her V magazine shoot with Steven Klein

    I have nothing of value to contribute, but I bet she was one of those people who was always making stuff up in order to get extensions for university assignments.

    Or maybe she just fucked her professors instead of doing the work

    I think now she can actually do whatever she wants. LFL was a mess too and she still has the label behind her.

    She didn't lost it when she didn't changed Ultraviolence so I bet they know she brings a lot of money so they don't care when the money is coming.

    Yeah, this is why I feel like the whole "Poor Lana is under the control of her label!" excuse is BS. She's basically a megastar at this point. I doubt ~the label~ constrains or fights with her to a point that she can't just make her own choices. I agree with those in this thread who say that none of the theories we've exhausted make sense anymore. NFR not being released must be completely of her own volition

    I never understand why when you listen to Lana the suggested artists that come up are always Marina, Halsey, Charlie Xxx & all that shit. Even when you ask ppl for suggestions they say they’re similar and they really aren’t. I do like marina out of those but the only similarity I can find is they both have vintage aesthetics and their lyrics are from a sad girl perspective (most of the time) but even like that they’re different. Imagine comparing Lana to those other pop, high pitched, demons. I literally HAVE to scream or I’ll pop

     

     

    I have yet to find any artists that I’d say is similar to her. If you guys know of anyone with a similar sound to ultraviolence please lmk

    Hi! You might like these artists:
